[3.28] Animate Guardian of Smiting Gladiator Low/Mid Budget (40d-70d~) Showcase

A significantly cheaper version of a build from Nerotox. Lifestacking build that uses an AG of Smiting with Grey Wind and a Rathpith/Crown of Eyes setup and gets even more added damage from a Flame Link. Main mechanic of note here is the new Transfusion support gem, which gives soul uptime. Souls + Hallowed Monarch makes the AG extremely tanky, but it's sometimes still vulnerable before you get the ramp (especially a problem when entering mirages and you get ganked by a bunch of packs). Build is basically immortal for most content because of Glad block + Defiance of Destiny, and can do basically all content comfortably. Excels in high juice since the helmet acts like a Headhunter. This is probably one of the best price-for-performance builds I've ever seen. Sometimes I wonder why minion players bitch so much when every other league there's some kind of turbo-broken minion build that they refuse to play because they want to play Spectres instead.

Showcase is scuffed and laggy because my PC is on its last legs and will imminently explode in the next few weeks.

Gear in showcase is around 55d~, but PoB has a Foulborn Red Dream with tattoos (22d~) and a 15d Watcher's Eye

Price breakdown and other notes Claw - 15d. Was an Elehit claw originally which is why the mods are all fucked up. Screams of Desiccated - 1d. Not incredibly good item, but synergized well with the bloodline and it's also new and shiny. Kaom's Heart - 40c Squire - 2d Defiance - 10d. Not necessary if you don't want to AFK, but I've been farming Catarinas and don't want to Gloves - 1d Shoes - 1d Gems - 2d total. Less if you're not lazy Clusters - 4d each x3. Less if you roll yourself Rare Jewels - 1d each x7 Tattoos - 100c.

AG Gear Grey Wind Crown of Eyes Rathpith Rare gloves Around 1d combined for decent rolls
